The Environment

Each year we analyse more ways in which we can reduce our environmental impact. As 2016 brings new challenges to the environmental area we are offering more environmentally friendly products as well as increasing recycling of cardboard and plastics.

As you may well have found out helping the Environment does not come easily, but, it is a necessity. There is little things that we can do which all help, things like recycling our scrap cardboard, using MediDen polythene and Super Hexane pallet wrapping films, swapping over to Dynaboard corrugated cardboard and asking for Deliveries on our Zoned Delivery Run, most of which SAVE money.

2016 News

We’ve changed our range of book boxes from b-flute to m-flute.

The results have meant that less board is used; therefore more can fit on a pallet which has reduced transport and storage space. More sheets can fit into a packing box which means fewer boxes are sent from our warehouse and transported to our customers.

This has not however, had an effect on the quality of the products as the board has proved to be more rigid than before.
